Religion will condemn you so that Satan can come and afflict you. Judgment always follows condemnation. Once you are under condemnation you will not feel worthy of God therefore you will not resist the devil when he comes and afflicts you because you will believe you deserve what you get.Faith will always pray that your eyes will be opened to your redemption In Christ. ​Faith will never condemn you but will always forgive you and will always love and encourage you.

Religion will say God is in control of everything so whatever may happen in your life was permitted by God.

This comes of a man-made doctrine that says, “God is sovereign”. This implies that nothing can happen unless God either does it or permits it. This strips you of your God given authority to rule and reign in life. Religion blinds you so that you will not equip yourself with the word of God. ​Religion deceives you so that you do not understand the value of the word of God. It leaves you powerless and naked before a very cruel and evil enemy called the devil.Faith understands that Satan is the god of this world. Faith understands that we are in a spiritual battle against principalities, powers, rulers of darkness, and spiritual hosts in the spiritual realm. Faith girds the soul with truth, and puts one the truths of righteousness, the gospel, faith, salvation and praying in the spirit. Faith knows that the evil day comes to all of us therefore faith is ready and equipped to deal with the devil and overcome him at every turn.

Religion demands that you live a perfect life in your behavior and in your heart.

When you fail, because you will, religion will condemn you, which in turn, will give you a sense of unworthiness.

​When you believe you are unworthy of God, you lose your intimacy with God and your identity in Christ and you are left in a powerless condition. Faith receives Christ’s righteousness as a free gift (Romans 5:17). Faith receives the position as a son of God and an heir of God (Romans 8:16) and freely receives God’s inheritance (Colossians 1:12). Faith understands that you are a joint-heir with Christ, therefore everything Jesus received you received.

​We are Christ’s body on this earth. He rules through us on this earth as a king (Revelation 1:6).

This implies that nothing can happen unless God either does it or permits it. This strips you of your God given authority to rule and reign in life.Religion doesn't even acknowledge the devil at all. For God does the good and the bad. God may use the devil from time to time to get His mysterious will to come to pass. However, the devil cannot do anything useless God permits it.BUT, faith understands that Satan is the god of this world. Faith understands that we are in a spiritual battle against principalities, powers, rulers of darkness, and spiritual hosts in the spiritual realm (Ephesians 6:10-18). Faith girds the soul with truth, and puts on the truths of righteousness, faith, love, salvation and praying in the spirit. Faith knows that the evil day comes to all of us therefore faith is ready and equipped to deal with the devil and overcome him at every turn.

The law of sin and death came into effect when Adam sinned in the Garden of Eden. Romans 5:18 "Therefore, as through one man's offense judgment came to all men, resulting in condemnation, even so through one Man's righteous act the free gift came to all men, resulting in justification of life."Everyone is born with a sin nature because of Adam’s disobedience in the Garden of Eden (Romans 5:12).​This sin nature brought judgment on all of mankind and the result of that judgment is condemnation. Man is a slave to the sin nature (Romans 6:20) that rules his spirit, soul and body. Condemnation produces a sense of unworthiness before God. At the cross Jesus bore the sins of mankind and the judgment for sin. All who accept Jesus as their Savior become born again. Their spirit is a new creation and is perfect before God. However the sin nature still resides in our mortal bodies. The Bible calls this your “Flesh”. Because of the “Flesh” we will struggle to be perfect and will fail many times. However God does not count our sins against us (Romans 4:6-8). Religion demands that you are perfect therefore when you fail, religion will condemn you, causing you to feel unworthy of God.Faith forgives you even when you fall short and sin (1 John 2:1-2). Faith receives its forgiveness because it understands the blood of Jesus justifies it.Every Christian who feels unworthy of God has lost their identity In Christ. They are getting their identity from their old man who is weak and lost. Under the New Testament God has placed us In Christ therefore, we get our identity from our new born again spirit that is perfect before our God. ​And by the way, this was God’s idea and plan for our lives.

​Religion will say God is in control of everything, so whatever may happen in your life was permitted by God. ​This comes of a man-made doctrine that says, “God is sovereign”. This implies that nothing can happen unless God either does it or permits it. This strips you of your God given authority to rule and reign in life. Religion also says you are unworthy of God therefore you are not worthy of God’s power to flow through you.Faith builds its life on the Rock of the revelation of what took place on the cross (Matthew 16:18-19). Redemption from all sin and all judgment for sin is the Rock on which we stand and the gates of hell cannot prevail against us. Jesus gave the church the keys to His kingdom. We now have access to all the resources of heaven as our inheritance. We have authority to bind and loose, to permit and not to permit, and to speak the word of God and angels go and bring that word to pass (Hebrew 1:14, Psalm 103:20).

Religion demands that you live a perfect life in your behavior and in your heart. When you fail, religion will condemn you, which in turn, will give you a sense of unworthiness. When you believe you are unworthy of God you lose your intimacy with God and your identity In Christ and you are left in a powerless condition. Faith believes the scriptures are true and receives them as the truth. Faith takes his rightful position before God as a son and an heir. Faith believes God is the greatest power on earth and uses God’s power to overcome and reign. Faith understands that Jesus’ blood justifies him before the Father therefore he boldly comes before his God knowing that he is accepted and greatly loved by God.

Religion will say God is in control of everything so whatever may happen in your life was permitted by God. This strips you of your God given authority to rule and reign in life. This comes from a man-made doctrine that says, “God is sovereign”, which implies that nothing can happen unless God either does it or permits it. God is certainly sovereign in that He is all powerful, all knowing and Omni-present, however, God has given man the dominion of this world. Man in turn gave the spiritual dominion of this world to Satan, when he sinned in the Garden of Eden.

Satan is now the god of this world (2 Corinthians 4:4). Yet, Jesus came and defeated Satan (Hebrews 2:14) and gave the church the spiritual dominion of this world (Ephesians 1:20). Today we have been redeemed from Satan’s dominion (Colossians 1:13) and we are free from his demonic kingdom. Faith takes the authority that Jesus purchased for him and uses that authority to rule over Satan and his kingdom. Jesus freed man from the Curse of sickness, poverty and pain (the curse of the Law) at the cross. Today we have been redeemed from that curse (Galatians 3:13) and given complete authority to rule over it (Luke 10:19) with our faith (1 John 5:4)
